Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huo Xiao’s walking stick was snatched away. He picked up the vase on the table and threw it at him. “You unfilial son, you unfilial son!”
Huo Zhen kicked him and the old man fell to the ground. He smiled and said, “Dad, don’t be indignant. You’re really old.”
Huo Xiao’s vision turned black as he gasped for air. His heart was in so much pain that he could not take it anymore. He held his chest and looked at the medicine that was rolling on the ground. His face turned purple as he opened his mouth and muttered, “Medicine, medicine…”
Huo Zhen picked up the medicine bottle and walked to him. He smiled and asked, “Dad, do you want this?”
Huo Xiao’s eyes were fixed on the life-saving medicine. He struggled to snatch it over with a pained expression. “Medicine… medicine…”
Huo Zhen laughed even more carefreely. The hatred that had been buried in his heart for decades was finally triggered at this moment. The beast hidden in the deepest part of his heart also woke up. He threw the medicine bottle away and pointed at the medicine bottle that had rolled far away. “Dad, do you see it? The medicine is over there. Go get it yourself!”
After he finished speaking, he stood on the spot and admired the old man’s painful and despairing appearance. After all the years of resentment was suddenly released, his mood was unusually happy. He watched as the old man crawled to the medicine bottle and he kicked it away again.
“Dad, I have a document here. I hope you can help me sign it.” Huo Zhen took out a share transfer agreement and squatted on the ground. He held his hand and forced him to press his thumbprint. Smiling, he said, “I know that you like Sixth Brother and want to hand over the family business to him to manage. But Dad, the Huo family’s assets can only belong to the eldest son and grandson of the Huo family. Who does Huo Ci think he is? He’s just a little bastard. All these years, Dad, why haven’t you figured it out yet?”
“You… unfilial… unfilial son…” Huo Xiao cursed with much difficulty. He began to run out of oxygen and opened his mouth wide to take in big gulps of air. His consciousness gradually faded and his body began to turn numb.
It turned out that his soft-heartedness and indulgence would not make his son realize his mistakes. Instead, it only made his hatred simmer deep in his heart, waiting to give him a fatal blow.
He could clearly feel warm liquid flowing out from his orifices. The footsteps of Death were getting closer.
In his mind he was thinking that if he died just like that, what would happen to Yin’er? What would happen to Sheng Sheng? What would happen to Xiaoqi?
If he died, would the Sixth Brother start a massacre?
Right. In the last moments of his life, he’d actually been worried about the brothers harming each other. He’d been on guard for so long, but what he’d feared still couldn’t be stopped. Instead, it’s about to happen.
It turned out that at the last moment of a person’s life, they would think so much.
His vision was pitch black, and his head was buzzing.
“Hubby, Hubby!”
“Grandpa, Grandpa, wake up, Grandpa!”
“Great-grandpa, I’m Xiaoqi. Great-grandpa, what’s wrong?”
“Dad, hold on. You must hold on.”
Someone was shouting for him. Who was crying? Yin’er, Ci’er, Sheng Sheng, Xiaoqi, who else was there?
He wanted to reply, but he could not say a word. Finally, he lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
For two days and two nights, Su Xiyin stayed by his side without sleep or rest. She watched the man, whose body was filled with tubes, without moving. The person she loved the most was now like a robot that had been destroyed and put back together. No matter what she said, he had no reaction. Only the beating heart monitor at the bedside could tell her that he was still alive.
“Grandma, I’m begging you. Can you eat something?” Ling Sheng carried a bowl of porridge over and half-knelt in front of her, her eyes misty.
“Sheng Sheng, you guys eat first. Grandma isn’t hungry.” Su Xiyin looked at her granddaughter. Her eyes were gentle, but they were lifeless. “Be good. You guys eat. I’ll accompany your grandpa.”
“Grandma.” The moment Ling Sheng said that, her voice turned hoarse. She did not know how to persuade her. She had not slept or eaten for two days. “But you should at least eat something. Just one bite, okay? Grandpa loves you so much and his heart aches for you. If he knew that you were accompanying him without eating or drinking, he would feel terrible.”
Two days ago, Grandma brought Xiaoqi home together with her. When they reached home, they found Grandpa lying in the study room. When they sent him to the hospital, the doctor said that if they had discovered him any later, he couldn’t be saved. He had a heart attack which caused a stroke and a cerebral hemorrhage. After resuscitating him for an entire day and night, they finally managed to snatch Grandpa back from the hands of the Grim Reaper.
“Sheng Sheng.” Su Xiyin looked at her granddaughter and then at her husband, who was lying on the bed. She seemed to be asking the question to both her and herself. Her voice was hoarse and broken. “What do you think I should do if your grandfather is gone?”
When Ling Sheng heard this, she could not help but cover her face. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she comforted her in a hoarse voice. “Grandma, don’t worry. Grandpa will be fine. Let’s treat Grandpa. My dad has found the best doctor in the world. He will definitely be able to treat Grandpa.”
“Go and eat. Grandma will accompany your grandpa for a while and talk to him. He has a weird temper. If I eat first and he doesn’t eat, he’ll get angry again.” Su Xiyin’s voice was very gentle as she wiped her tears and tried her best to smile. “Be good, don’t cry!”
Ling Sheng could not hold it in. When she carried the bowl out, she heard her grandmother’s gentle voice talking to her grandfather. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as the salty taste spread in her mouth and her heart ached.
People had their own joys and sorrows, but she had never thought that an accident would happen so unexpectedly, making it impossible for them to be mentally prepared. Her grandfather was still in charge of the family matters a few days ago, and the day of the accident was his 70th birthday. But in the blink of an eye, he was sick and lying on the hospital bed.
Jun Shiyan saw the young lady come out and went up to her worriedly. He took the bowl from her hands and wiped her tears with his slender and fair fingers. He asked gently, “Grandma doesn’t want to eat, right?”
Ling Sheng nodded. Her tears were like broken beads that could not be stopped. She leaned into the man’s embrace and cried sadly. “Third Master, what will happen to Grandma if my Grandpa passes?”
Grandma and Grandpa seemed to be one and the same. If Grandpa really passed away just like that, Grandma would definitely not survive. In the past, she used to think that true love is just a lie.
However, the love between her grandparents was really deep. No one could leave each other. If something happened to one, the other would not be able to live on in this world. Without the person she loved the most, no matter how good the world was, it would have nothing to do with her..
